Jobseekers across the UAE and the Middle East are confident that they will be able to find better prospects in the future job market, a recent research has shown.

According to the Q1 2018 Middle East Job Market Survey by Michael Page, 81 per cent of respondents think that the future job market situation will get better in the next six months.

The survey also shows construction/engineering is the leading industry where maximum jobs creation is expected to happen, followed by oil and gas and 'trade/services'. Hiring activity is also expected to rise in the retail, banking and finance and hospitality sectors. In addition, eight per cent of the recruiters indicated positivity in the hiring market for IT and IT enabled services.

While hiring outlook is set to improve, experts noted that the situation is not as rosy when it comes to increasing salaries.
